Echo and The Bunnymen - Do It Clean

[wolfiesocrates]

wow--so good

[nickmidgley]

I was at this gig! It was the second concert I ever went to, on a steaming hot evening in London. Brilliant! They'd actually put seats in on the floor of the hall, about half of which had to be hastily removed just after the gig started!

[15LeanaK]

@nickmidgley LUCKY! I wasn't even alive yet haha. I wish I could of went to this though...

[RockyG1978]

I'll say it, The Bunnymen in the rearview are 100 times better than when experienced. (that's a complement to the 80s). What-the-hell happened to music?

[Factory53mmSkater]

one person did it sloppy...

[duncanranger]

Love...love is all you need!! Man, I fried a ton of brain cells to this one in high school!

[ninelivecat]

A bit of a Beatles tribute here and James Brown too

[Paley]

just superb

[martindowland]

Pete. Inspired and driving, not to dismiss the rest of the band who are incredibly strong.

[Kaylascreation]

awesome video. thank you Dr.cheese01! glad i found it.

[thejim789mac]

you are absolutely right drcheese01 and thanks for the best videos i have ever seen in a long long time.

[lefrauens]

Agreed salcourt, the best live Bunnymen song ever!  Just delivers!

[goonchistaw]

i always loved the bunnies & i'm a manc

u2 are shit , simple minds w.t.f.

lost count of how many times i saw the bunnies

[faddy24]

@goonchistaw - early U2 were great and Simple Minds were innovative and brilliant between 79-84. It's possible to like `em and the bunnymen.

[goonchistaw]

@faddy24 i saw u2 support stiff little fingers @ mcr apollo & loved them but they went from cool to foolish , by being way too preachy . simple minds , agreed , but they were not as well paced as the bunnies & at that time it was the clash & the bunnymen that drew me in , it's possible to like any bands. no limit ;)

[greenfish88]

great fucking footage!! great band!

[jeanmaurice1]

Still amazing!

[scherzomortale]

It's great to see the video after 25 years of playing it to death on my hi-fi.cheers.

[titbumwilly1]

I saw them around this time at Hammersmith Palais - and quite simply THE best gig ever, and I saw The Jam in their prime!

Arrogance, power and mesmerising musicianship. Does it come any better? No

[silexent]

Thank you for taking me wayyyy back. :) Doin' it clean I know what I mean I'm mean!

[beowulven]

Aaaaahhhh, 80's girls...

[BrucknerMotet]

where have I been?

[SPXclothing]

In their full prime!

[gladpeppe21]

iszy bitzy witzy itzy everywhere ! !

[thebjm1967]

yes. i love these guys. they are def. underrated.

[sleekcartim]

one of the truly underrated bands of all time. period.

[losghost]

lol look at all those asymmetrical haircuts! I remember this music was such a departure from what was out there at the time.

There are a couple bands out there today that are good but there really needs to be another mass genre change imo.

[thebjm1967]

amen. :)

[verysmallfilms]

they rock

[Snotra]

Hey mr. Light man!

[sounddiv]

MAN I miss these kind of shows! Well, i'm holding out hope for The Faint and Muse to save alternative rock :-)

[jcawesome2]

where'd you get this viedeo

[BALDSWEED]

Its on `Pictures On My Wall`. Which is a video of the bands hits up to this concert . I have a copy and i love it.

[Dieseljustice]

Ian was one of the GREAT vocalist of the 80's.

[salcourt]

This is the Greatest Echo song ever. I was at the stage in 1988 in the San Jose CA convention center. They walked off the stage and everyone started chanting DO IT CLEAN and at the time I bet I thought I was leading the chant. They came back on and Les kicked a ballon and I caught it. What a freakin awesome memory. Long Live ECHO and the Bunnymen......Thank You Ian, Will, Les and Pete......No one will ever be the Greatest because you guys are!

[jcawesome2]

i know

[Superhelter]

sounds like jim morrison at times

[Superhelter]

love this

[katottm]

marvelous! superb!! amazing!!!!!

[Snotra]

Bono once said that.."Ian always was more cooler than me"

[LordSeth924]

Thanks for posting this! This is a great live vid.

[ljpw93]

this is one of 2 songs that won't be on the cd releasing at the end of sept. - - i don't know what happened to The Fountain...but this is totally cool having the concert RAH83 finally in some medium...wish they'd release the damn dvd and let us live in peace and contentment!

EATB are the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD...

[Superhelter]

this is magical

[sergegrone]

This song was the shit on their early years. You can see why Sergeant is considered one of the best in his style.

[theface79]

Listened to it at a friend´s: "He´s going to sing 'Sex Machine' in a minute." - "NO he won´t!" He did.

[ljpw93]

nice to tribute the other liverpool boys....

love IS all you need. EATB = gods

[hippiekid1]

Adam on Cello :D

A great era for the Bunnymen

[jools92126]

Is it my allergies affecting my eyes or is Les wearing a diaper?

[DrCheese01]

That's not Les you muppet.

[jools92126]

My bad. Who is it? & is it a diaper?

[exzealient]

@jools92126: visiit your pharmacist

[jools92126]

This is my favorite version of this song. Thanks for posting it.

[scoobydooyt]

and cheers drcheese01 for posting this

[scoobydooyt]

This is truly one of the great live songs. i too first listened to it b side of killing moon years ago. Fucking brilliant, cheers conteh.

[daegrant]

This is indeed on the Killing Moon 12" and was on the Picture on the Wall" video compilation released some time in the 1980s (I think it might also have appeared on a Japanese only cd compilation). There is a similar (but not the same) live version of "Do It Clean" also from 1983 on the "Crystal Days" boxset. Does anyone know if that was ever filmed? It's almost if not quite as good as this one.

[Wickstik]

As Mac would say, "You've just seen the best band of all time!"

[lmnpr22]

Awesome! I still remember the nights in my room repeatedly listening to the 12" of 'The Killing Moon' then following up with this. Woohoo! I like the change in pace and then it lets rip! Oh, I still have my 12" copy. It's a bit worse for wear though :)

[mzzh]

love this. this band was under-rated. they kick the ass off of any band today

[MedicineWarrior]

This is one of my favorite tunes of all times.

Thanks a zillion for posting it.
